1 button (5/8” shown)
E hook (3.50 mm)
Ch 2 counts as first Dc in each row.
Gauge:  Approximately 15 dc and 8 rows = 4”
Collar is approximately 19” X 2 ½”.

Row 1:  Leaving a 10” tail, Dc Ch 69, Ch 2, turn. (Instructions for the Dc Ch, or foundationless crochet are here... http://lazytcrochet.blogspot.com/2010/03/foundationless-crochet.htmlhttp://lazytcrochet.blogspot.com/2010/03/foundationless-crochet.html)
Row 2:  Dc in next 11, 2 dc in next, *dc in next 10 sts., 2dc in next.* Repeat from * to * 3 more times. Dc in last 12. Ch 2, turn.
Row 3:  Dc in next 11, 2 dc in each of the next 2 sts., *dc in next 10 sts., 2 dc in each of the next 2 sts.*  Repeat from * to * 3 more times. Dc in last 12. Ch 2, turn.
Row 4:  Dc in next 11, 2 dc in each of the next 4 sts., *dc in next 10 sts., 2 dc in each of the next 4 sts.*  Repeat from * to * 3 more times. Dc in last 12. Ch 2, turn.

Using the tail of the yarn to crochet a button loop, insert the hook at the side of Row 1 and pull up a loop. Chain 5 (or however many you need to fit the button you want to use), join with slip stitch and fasten off. Work the ends in. Sew a button to the opposite side. Steam block, if desired.
 
For the natural color shown, I used DMC Senso Linen Cotton.
Follow instructions above through Row 4.
For the scalloped edging, Ch 1, skip 2 stitches, work 5 dc in next stitch, (skip 2 stitches, sc in next , skip 2 stitches, 5 dc in next) repeat across, skip 3 stitches at the end and sc in top of turning chain. (17 scallops made.)  Fasten off.

(These collars are for sale in my Etsy shop. Feel free to make these as gifts. The "Peter Pan" style collar is all the rage right now. And, if you're in a different market than me, feel free to make some for shows, but I reserve the right to sell them in my shop. Thanks!)
